sprowl, verb, intr.: to squat; to opportunistically find the metaphorical g-spot and contemplate spending the night there; usage: The bird sprowled for over an hour content with being on top of the world.
additonal usage: When, from my roost, I furtively spied a fellow faerie betaken by the muses, I sprowled my way over to make her acquaintance.
Okay, okay, i just screwed with the intransitiveness. But it turns out Vanessa (above), whom I just met, hangs out, nonetheless, in Dreamland much as I do: She considers it a sanctuary. She finds her muses here. She has opened her eyes to both its beauty and fiercenss and therefore knows no fear.
Actually, she shared with me, upon this first meeting, a rather cute story. As it turns out, her father used to bring her to Dreamland to play as a child. And they would always visit the grave of John D. Rockefeller, industrial magnate and wealth baron extraordinaire...
where her daddy would tell her "If you chance to find money on Rockefeller's grave, you'll grow up someday to be rich."
Of course, prior to bringing here there, her dad always sprinkled some coins around the obelisk that she would subsequently find. Wealth divine!
But I'd guess instead that the wealth she has found is with the muses that share us. I actually happened upon her drawing the Dark Lion that I self-portraited with in yesterday's photoblog. Then the rains came. And we parted amidst some angry gusts swirling dizzy drizzle.
No poem today. Just some wanton witties that popped into my head:
Being born to world is not risk free,
Unlike it never used to be.
I’d rather die with a lampshade on my head,
Than a lightbulb in my mouth.
I neither dread the dead nor the living.
But that which is still halfway in this world
yet halfway already gone over to the next
arouses my curiosity.
